Criteria to Verify Knowledge Sharing Technology

Abstract: This paper is focused on providing some criteria for verifying Knowledge
Sharing
Technology (KST). Verification of KST refers to the engineering activity that
guarantees the correctness of the definitions in an ontology, its associated
software environments, and documentation with respect to a frame of reference
during each phase and between phases of its life cycle. Verification of the
software and documentation guarantee that they are correct. Verification of the
ontologies refers to building the ontology right, and it verifies that: (1) the
architecture of the ontology is sound, (2) the lexicon and the syntax of the
definitions are correct, and (3) the content of the ontologies and their
definitions are internally and metaphysically consistent, complete, concise,
expandable and sensitive.
